Hi all Ed's and fellow gunners, hope alls well been reading Watkins to replace Jesus, Watkins is a lifelong gooner is more clinical than Jesus. and would bust a gut up front for us. leaving more funds for left wing and midfield. 20 mil for Jesus put 20 mil to it for Watkins makes sense to me ✌?& ?? to you all .
1.) 26 Jul 2026 20:10:36
That is an absolute no brainer if he is available.
2.) 27 Jul 2026 23:15:49
Should have signed him two years ago. Jim replacing Jesus would be awesome. Give us a great option off the bench.
26 Jun 2026 06:46:11
Morning all Ed's and fellow gunners, hope everyone is taking care of themselves and love ones and enjoying the summer and the World Cup. just wanted to say I read a report yesterday that a certain mr Declan Rice and the Arsenal are at the very advanced stages of his negotiations on a new deal to extend with us and how both parties are keen to get it done and dusted as soon as he returns from World Cup duty and then announce it.
fantastic bit of business. p. s don't know if this is old news and you lot already know. as I only came across the article yesterday. just thought I'd share it with you guys and gals. you all take care of yourselves and your loved ones enjoy the weather and the World Cup. ✌?&???⚪️❤️.
1.) 26 Jun 2026 16:36:26
He's a true gooner, hope the rumour is true, Gabi.
I heard just that we have put an offer in for Bruno Guimaraes. Been rejected by Newcastle.
2.) 26 Jun 2026 18:55:53
Deckers has character - look at the s*** he takes about his other half! Almost as much as Mrs Sussex takes about me! I like the cut of his jib, as they say. As an aside, Alvarez? Is he all that? Checked, he scored 8 goals in 29 games, but 5 were in 2 games.
Therefore, 3 goals in the other 27 games. He scored, I would wager, against weaker or at best comparable teams in Spain. One in nine? 130 mill, I'm out! Who's next in line COYG.
3.) 26 Jun 2026 22:44:06
I haven't seen much of him since he left the PL Sussex, but there seems a lot of excitement around him.
And Rice is such a role model. Such a gent, the way he came out fighting his wife's corner.
4.) 27 Jun 2026 13:06:26
Hope that's true, as he's the man, and hope Arteta plays him more in his natural role, with the perfect partner to get us forward quicker.. Make him captain, and get that contract signed.
Get the young Bournemouth player signed and the Villa guy.
30 Aug 2025 12:13:49
Good day to all Ed's and fellow gunners, hope alls good. news outlets reporting hincapie on way to London season long loan with option to buy with 5 year deal lined up if we activate the deal reported to be for around £45 million. THE DON?️ strikes again. ???.
1.) 30 Aug 2025 18:01:56
So Havertz is injured and we need another forward…….
2.) 02 Sep 2025 08:25:02
Very annoyed Isak wasn’t interested in us and we lost Rodrygo because of wages (that I’m happy about)
3.) 03 Sep 2025 05:14:30
Fees for Isak Prohibitive, Rodrygo unproven in the EPL.
4.) 04 Sep 2025 07:21:25
We enquired about both. Isak wasn’t interested and Rodrygo was after £350k per week which I agree for a player who could be flaky was far too big a gamble.
23 Aug 2025 16:18:57
Eze has passed his medical. done deal. berta THE DON?️ strikes again. ???.
31 Oct 2024 19:19:49
Evening all Ed's and fellow gunners, hope all's well. was just reading an article. (don't know if there's real truth in it) . stating that we are considering taking Leroy sané from Bayern when he's contract expires making the 28 year old winger a free transfer. (really hefty wages though, reportedly on £320grand a week at Bayern) . I personally feel if Arteta can get the best out of him, he'd be a solid addition to our squad. just wondered what you guys may think. if he's worth a go with the gunners.? . ?⚪️❤️.
{Ed002's Note - Leroy Sane (W/AM) Bayern Munich are open to a new contract but financial expectations are far apart. I expect Middle East might be a viable solution with Al Nassr. Newcastle has a declared interest. Liverpool were, and may still be, keen to take him as a Salah replacement. I would not rule out Arsenal taking him, as they do have interest. Free agent in the summer, but huge wage demands.}

Cheers Ed 002, thanks for insight, ✌?& ??.

Afternoon all Ed's and fellow gunners. hope alls well sky sports news reporting bid for Bruno rejected by Newcastle. both clubs now in direct talks. so all the talk last week about £77 million deal all agreed and Bruno having medical Monday was all a load of old cods wallop .
1.) 03 Aug 2026 15:34:27
This is Arsenal's first direct contact with Newcastle.
2.) 03 Aug 2026 16:22:25
That's rumours for you, Gabi. I never take anything too seriously until it's on the club's own website. It saves on all that disappointment or unnecessary upset, depending on how you personally feel about the player that's being talked about, mate. ?
3.) 03 Aug 2026 16:33:15
I think Newcastle got Bruno out to Spain to see if their new manager could convince him to stay as a last throw of the dice.
What I will say is that, out of all the rumours flying about, Ornstein has said all along that personal terms have been agreed, but no contact has been made between clubs. He also said that Arsenal have a walk away ceiling of around the 80 million mark, and will walk away and concentrate on other targets, which I presume is Alex Scott.
As Arsenal have apparently bid £77 million and Newcastle rejected straight away, we are very close to our walk away figure.
Even though Bruno has said all along he won't throw his toys out of the pram like Isak, I wonder if his attitude could change if he thinks the move is not happening.
4.) 03 Aug 2026 17:08:03
Hi Bill, mate, I think it's best to let it all unfold as it will, and just accept the club will do everything within their power to have us in the best shape possible come opening night. ?
Obviously, for us fans, the fee is irrelevant; we just want the player, but of course the club has to get everything right on and off the pitch to keep us both financially viable and competitive on the pitch.
Can't be easy, mate.
5.) 03 Aug 2026 17:13:07
Hi g62, I got suckered in. ??♂️ I'm always telling my 3 boys, don't believe anything until it's official on club website. Don't know what came over me. Must be all this hot weather warping my little mind. ?
6.) 03 Aug 2026 18:29:04
Hi Gabi, mate, it's not easy to stay in control of our emotions when we really want something to be true, we all get carried away sometimes, mate.
Who knows, he might still turn up yet, but if not, it's worth remembering "Sometimes, when life doesn't give us what we really want, what it gives us instead turns out to be even better than we ever dreamed possibly." ????
7.) 03 Aug 2026 19:01:19
He's out in Spain to say goodbye to the players and staff medical tomorrow.
8.) 03 Aug 2026 19:49:44
The "Don" moves at a snail's pace - not sure how he got that name. I will rename him Brian from Magic Roundabout.
Slow, and goes round in cycles.
Come on, Brian! Formulate a plot.
Success is your only option; failure's not.
So here you go, it's your shot, feet, fail you not.
This may be the only opportunity that you got.

Morning guys and gals, hope all's well. Watched an interesting interview last night… Arteta claimed he is 100% refreshed for the up and coming season, and all the squad that has returned with an extra bounce about them and are looking hungry for the season ahead. But my absolute favourite comment from Mikel was. Excellence has to be our standard…that six word comment made me smile the biggest smile. Our great club is back at the big boy table and we want to feast. Top four is not our target; we strive for bigger things these days, and so we should… We are the Arsenal. And I want to put last season's Premier League champions campaign into some context. We had the second worst injury list. Only the muppets up the road had more. So imagine what this squad can be capable of if we can keep everyone fit and firing on all cylinders; add to that some top quality and we will be cooking. Just take a minute to think of who was injured for us last season and some were at real key times of the season and some were for big periods. So keeping our players fit will be key, for players playing together and getting that understanding and confidence in each other's strengths and abilities allowing a more fluid cohesive squad.
Sometimes last season some people had a bit of a moan. (myself included) when we didn't kill off the so called lesser opponents. Then when you factor the amount of injuries we had and the fact we just wanted to get that first title over the line in 22 years (the nerves, pressure and injuries, all a big factor) . But we did it. We are the reigning Premier League champions (I know, it sounds absolutely amazing, doesn't it) … Transfer market will shut; I'm sure our club is working hard behind the scenes to push us on to bigger and better things, so we can walk with confidence, we can puff our chests out, we can all be the 12th man, we can sing louder and prouder, back Mikel, his back room team, his squad and our magnificent club the Arsenal each and every day. Never forget that us fans and our contributions are just as important to the players as theirs are to us. Season 26/27 is gonna be one heck of a season, there will be the inevitable bumps in the road on the journey. We are the Arsenal lets rock n roll…victory through harmony come on you Gunners. ?⚪️❤️.
1.) 30 Jul 2026 17:07:45
Lovely sentiments, Gabi. ?
2.) 30 Jul 2026 17:41:28
Thanks Sal. ?
26 Jul 2026 15:03:13
I think Berta (the don ?️) could be cooking up something special for us gooners. I saw an article about 3 weeks ago that he wanted all our deals concluded in the next 2 weeks, so now he is a week past that statement. Which I’m fine with. The guy is a sly old fox ?. I trust him 100%. I mean, come on guys, he absolutely smashed it for us last summer. I don’t think Vini will be coming to us, just using the mighty Arsenal name to get a better pay increase at Madrid… but just got a nice feeling that all of a sudden the don will pull the trigger on at least 2 maybe 3 incoming deals.
And we will all say wow, wow and possibly wow again. We gotta stay cool ? whilst the ?️ works his magic. North London forever, whatever the weather…?⚪️❤️.
1.) 26 Jul 2026 17:13:21
Hello Gabi, mate, hope everyone and everything is good for you.
I am, like you, very doubtful over Vini.
But Bruno, Alvarez, and a r/b and a stop gap c/h, and we are ready to rip.
Just reading that Christos has clocked the fastest time in training, quicker than Gabi or Vic.
Take care, Gabi, mate.
Coyg.
2.) 26 Jul 2026 18:31:12
Hi Bill, alls good, my friend. The good thing about Don Berta ?️ is no one actually knows what he actually has lined up. The papers can do all their talking. I'm just waiting to see what the little fella really does. In Don Berta ?️ I trust. Arsenal till I die. VTH. ?⚪️❤️
3.) 26 Jul 2026 19:24:31
Gabi, I tend to disagree. He didn’t sign a needed LW. Noni didn’t improve the starting 11, and we still need a top striker. He was slow at signings last summer. Sorry, but as we still need a top CF & LW, he’s slow again this summer.
Clearly I’m missing something.
This isn’t me being anti whatever, but stating what I see - it’s almost the end of July & no big signing. Looks like he needs a bit more intensity & assertiveness, which looks like the reason we didn’t sign Rogers.
4.) 26 Jul 2026 20:17:33
Sy, mate, we won the league, was 1 penalty miss away from CL glory. The players we are interested in were all in the later stages of the World Cup, they get extended breaks.
Rogers was 117 million, so, so overpriced.
If anything, Villa played Chelsea like a fiddle. Would be interested to know if Chelsea knew that our ceiling for Rogers was 80 million.
The 3 players mentioned, Bruno, Alvarez and Vini, are seriously expensive players, and it will take seriously strong negotiations and a lot of wonka. We are not like City and Chelsea, who clearly disregard any financial restraints or laws. We are the Arsenal.
Hoping you are having a good summer, mate. Take care.
5.) 26 Jul 2026 22:08:04
100% Highbury. It was our squad depth that won us the trophy and almost the Champions League. You can have the best striker and wingers in the league and still fall short. Could we have a better striker and LW? Of course.
But even then, sometimes it doesn't always bring success. Let's enjoy being current champions and hope it's the start of a fruitful period, whatever players are with us COYG.
6.) 26 Jul 2026 22:19:50
Hi Sy, hope all's well. Totally agree on Noni. Being honest, I wasn't keen on us signing him in the first place, but once we did, I backed him because he was an Arsenal player. But I honestly thought Berta did well, apart from Kepa (although for 5 mil he wasn't too bad) , and Noni. The rest of the signings were very good. Although it's hard to make a proper assessment of Norgaard as he didn't often play (which was a shame; he was a very good player at Brentford) . Mosquera, Hincapie, Zubimendi, Eze and Big Viktor all played big parts in us winning our first title in 22 years, and only missing out on the Champions League final to penalties, which is a 50/50 lottery.
So, in all fairness, and only my humble opinion - and it is only my opinion, and other people are totally entitled to theirs - we did alright last summer transfer-wise. We became champions of England once again, so I can't complain, mate, and I'm happy to wait and see what happens. Just one thing: regarding Morgan Rogers, he is not worth wasting £117 million on. £70 million maybe. £75 million absolute max. If Chelsea want to pay silly money for him, that's their choice. Arsenal won't pay silly money for someone who is massively, massively overpriced. ✌? & ?? To you, Sy, take care, bud.
7.) 26 Jul 2026 22:42:38
Evening! All good here, and I love hearing us referred to as champions. What an achievement! We didn't have a strong transfer window, and really strengthened our squad. What we need to do now is strengthen our starting 11, so our attack is as effective as our goalie, defence & midfield. I'm not taking anything away from last season, but I still believe he could have been more effective, but we won. Eze has not been great except the Spurs game. Not a huge fan of Vik, but we took forever to sign him so he missed training with us.
Noni is Noni.
We aren't Chelsea, but if we want Bruno - get it done! Stop messing around.
If we wanted Rogers - get it done and stop trying to get players cheap and missing out.
We just need to be more decisive and not trying to work 5 deals. Get it done or move on.
Hope you are all good and excited for new season.
The market is the market - we either compete and move forward or reject it and shrink.
I agree that we did alright. I wouldn't say we smashed it. That's all as we are still looking to solve the same 2 issues.
8.) 26 Jul 2026 22:55:48
Champions 25/26.. Arsenal. We got what we all craved for so long. We must now keep moving forward. Let's see what lies ahead, and we can all have a good old natter when the summer transfer window slams shut. It's going to be very interesting. COYG/VTH. ? ⚪️ ❤️
9.) 27 Jul 2026 06:39:42
?? I nearly got suckered in by the we bought Noni narrative, so we had a poor window! Then Gabi reasoned we bought Hincapie, Viktor, Eze, Zubi and Mosquera and I was back in the room! I did miss Kai getting a kicking though, which was strange and threw me again! ?♂️ COYG.
10.) 27 Jul 2026 06:53:04
Morning Sussex, hope alls good. I personally like Kai and am very fond of Merino, who is hugely underrated. Both of them often pop up with big goals in big games. No complaints there from me, buddy. ?
11.) 27 Jul 2026 07:35:14
All good here, Gabi! I'm just getting a premonition that the reason we didn't win this that or t'other is we didn't sign Rogers! Villa fans were mystified as to why Emery was playing him earlier in the season. If Rogers is the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy! Chelski will do well this season, as they did poorly last season, a bit like United.
No Europe, and so Alonso will have all week with them, and way less games, so less tiredness and injuries. It's why United will struggle more this season. COYG.
12.) 27 Jul 2026 09:25:04
Maybe the 3 unwise men at Chelsea have once again followed the wrong star and have ended up singing yet another Wodderwick or Woger, Hertfordshire mate.
Maybe Noni and Eze didn't consistently turn water into wine but they both played a part in our return to the promised land. ????
13.) 27 Jul 2026 11:52:21
Hi Sussex, I hope you are well.
Hi Gunner, yes, they played a role. One was a squad addition, the other was meant to be a game changer, & at times turned wine to water, but probably was not helped by playing in handcuffs. Hope you are good, fella.
14.) 27 Jul 2026 11:59:19
Hi Sy, mate, all good in this hood, and hope it's the same with you, geeza. ?
15.) 27 Jul 2026 14:50:56
Bigger picture, the squad addition helped when Saka was injured or needed a rest, and the game changer gave us memorable moments over them up the road. All players and staff contributed this last great season, whether bit part or large part.
Hopefully onwards and upwards.
16.) 27 Jul 2026 18:51:38
All good here, thanks! But what has Arteta ever done for us?
I’m so thinking this Vini Jnr rumour is nonsense. I’ve gone so far the other way and found myself agreeing that he would be worth it, because defences would not double up on Saka, and Saka would benefit enormously! Then I realised what a Biggus Dickus I was being, and relaxed again! It’s tough this transfer rumours lark COYG.
17.) 27 Jul 2026 19:57:54
Blessed are the Greek, Shropshire.
18.) 27 Jul 2026 23:09:54
Ramsgate, yes, you are spot on, and Noni was an important Saka cover, & so was strengthening the squad, for sure.
19.) 28 Jul 2026 16:04:51
Hi, Sy. Your opinions and thoughts are pretty much bang on. We shouldn't rest on our laurels, we definitely need to improve in some areas if we want to make that next step that the manager and board want. Just wanted to appreciate the gradual climb we've made in recent seasons. Could it be better.
sure. Could we be more entertaining. sure. I think we all agree on that. Hopefully, with that monkey off our backs (winning the league) , the handbrake will come off. Whatever happens, everyone on this site wants the same outcome. Hope your summer has been good so far, Sy. ? ?
20.) 28 Jul 2026 20:56:07
Excellent summer, bud - love hearing the words Gunners & Champions in the same sentence. Love it, and yes, we've come so, so far! We really have an opportunity to dominate, and can't wait to see us play without that monkey on our back, although it will be replaced with people wanting to beat the Champs!
We have come a long, long way, and for me to complain about certain things actually proves it - signing Vini (5 years ago - nope) , moaning about Noni (5 years ago, no - I was moaning about the clown Luiz) .
What a journey we are in, and still on. ??
19 Jul 2026 23:26:17
Well done Spain, and our 3 amigos Raya, Zubi and Merino. World champions and well deserved. The best team won… Argentina dignified in defeat. (NOT) . Bunch of dirty little so and so’s… World Cup done and dusted… Bring on the Premiership… and Come on you Gunners ?⚪️❤️.
15 Jul 2026 22:45:35
Evening all Ed's and fellow gunners. hope all is good. I've just been reading a very worrying report saying saliba could be out for up to 4 to 5 months. if true that's a big chunk of the season. report said he has been playing with back issue for quite a while.
only doing light training sessions and getting by in matches by sheer courage and pain killers. fingers crossed for the lad. going to be a big miss.
